The temple of the Goddess of Harvest appeared again. Although many people knew about the existence of gods, it was rare for a god to appear so frequently. Saint Deluca, the Goddess of Harvest, had appeared three times in the past two days. The frequency was so high that she could be voted as the most hardworking god of the year. This time, the content of Saint Deluca's appearance was basically the same as the previous two times. The target was still Li Huailin.
In the temple of the Goddess of Harvest, a large number of believers were listening to Saint Deluca's oracle. Of course, this was basically what happened in all the temples, because the statues of Saint Deluca in the temples were basically clones of Saint Deluca.
"… This person is a sinner. As my believers, you have the obligation to fight against him. You can't let him continue to do evil … Don't worry, you are my believers. I will naturally protect you, so no one can hurt you … Use the power I give you to defeat this evil person …"
This was not the first time Saint Deluca issued her oracle. This time, the situation was still the same. All the believers knelt on the ground and listened to her oracle. No one dared to speak at this time. Saint Deluca nodded slightly with satisfaction. But at this time, she suddenly remembered the expression on Li Huailin's face. She suddenly pointed at the leader of the believers and asked, "Can you … do it?"
"Eh?" The leader of the believers kneeling on the ground was the temple priest of this temple. According to the Church of Light, he was the bishop of this temple. Of course, the Goddess of Harvest did not have an official religion, so there were no official positions. Therefore, he was just the leader of the believers. Hearing Saint Deluca's words, the temple priest was slightly surprised. Although he had listened to the oracle several times, he had never seen Saint Deluca speak to him. After all, their identities were different, so the temple priest did not react at this time.
"I asked you, can you destroy this evil person?" Saint Deluca asked again and looked at the believer with disgust. To be honest, she didn't want to talk to these ants. When she saw the believer's reaction, she felt very annoyed that she had to say another word.
Originally, Saint Deluca was just a little concerned and thought that the answer she would hear would be "Yes!" But unexpectedly, the acolyte thought for a while and carefully asked, "May I know what heinous crime the Duke of Aquitaine (I still haven't changed the way he addressed me) has committed? May I ask, my Lord, what heinous crime has the Duke of Aquitaine committed?"
"Huh?" The temple attendant's question caused Saint Deluca's brain to pause for a moment. Then, without thinking, he immediately said, "His troops have already demolished several temples and killed tens of thousands of believers. Now, they're going to demolish all my temples. You're about to be killed by them, and you're asking me what heinous things he's done?"
"Eh?" The temple attendant was slightly taken aback. "Could it be … that the High God wants to punish the Duke of Aquitaine for these things?"
"These things?" Saint Deluca was stunned. Why did this guy sound like "these things" were not a big deal?
"This … My God … Qing Rong, I will report this to you," the temple attendant said after thinking for a while.
"Go ahead," Saint Deluca said immediately.
"The Duke of Aquitaine is also very respectful to you. His various actions show that he is a very devout person to you. May I ask why the High God wants to get rid of this most devout believer …" The temple attendant could not help but ask. Originally, he did not have the guts to say this, but he was really touched by Li Huailin's various actions. He really did not mean it. He really wanted to demolish temples and kill believers. As all kinds of bad news came, these believers became more and more respectful to Li Huailin. So, he really did not understand why Saint Deluca would order to get rid of Li Huailin again and again even after Li Huailin had done so much for Saint Deluca. Most of the believers of the Goddess of Harvest were kind people, so they also had doubts about this matter. The temple attendant could not hold it in anymore. Seeing that Saint Deluca was here, he really wanted to ask her personally what the misunderstanding was.
"Huh?" Saint Deluca almost thought that her brain was not enough to process this. She asked directly, "Extremely respectful? The most devout? What are you talking about? What has he done to be considered devout to me? "
"The Duke of Aquitaine wants to demolish all your temples and kill all your believers. Of course, this is the most devout expression to you," the temple attendant said without hesitation. "Is there anything else that the Duke of Aquitaine isn't doing well?" the temple attendant asked without hesitation.
"…" Saint Deluca was silent for ten seconds. She then looked at the temple attendant and asked word by word, "Do you think his action of demolishing my temple and killing my believers is a sign of devout worship to me?"
Saint Deluca's expression was very serious. The temple attendant could not stand the pressure from her eyes, but she still answered, "Yes …"
"You are the spy that guy sent to me!" Saint Deluca suddenly pointed at the temple attendant and shouted. Yes, she understood. This temple attendant must have been sent by Li Huailin to set her up. Of course, Saint Deluca did not know this temple attendant. Although he had been a temple attendant for decades, how could she remember the face of an ant? Anyway, she had never cared about him. Saint Deluca now understood. No wonder Li Huailin was so confident. He must have sent someone to bribe or control the higher-ups of her believers. For example, this temple attendant in front of her was definitely sent by Li Huailin. That was why he dared to talk to her like this. It turned out that it was all planned.
"Me? Spy? " Of course, the temple attendant felt wronged. He looked at Saint Deluca in confusion. The believers next to him were also a little confused. They all knew this temple attendant and had been a temple attendant for decades. He had been in the temple since he was ten years old. Every time there was a sacrifice, he was the one presiding over it. How could he be a spy? Besides, they did not hear anything wrong with the temple attendant's words. They were also wondering why she was targeting Li Huailin. It did not make sense. So why was this temple attendant a spy?
"You still dare to say that you are not with him? Otherwise, why would you speak up for him? " Saint Deluca, of course, said loudly. At this time, her body was shining with divine light, making it hard for people to breathe.
"I … I …" The little old man was a little scared. "I did not speak up for him."
"You still say you did not? He behaved like this, and you still say that he is devout to me? What do you think I am, a fool? " Saint Deluca immediately shouted. She was already very angry. Now that she had met such a believer, of course, she was even angrier.
"I … I …" The temple attendant did not know what he had done wrong, but seeing that the goddess was angry, he did not dare to speak.
"Damn, I can't stand it anymore!" At this moment, suddenly, a young man's roar came from the temple. Everyone turned their heads and looked. A young man in his twenties suddenly stood up. Because everyone else was kneeling, this person instantly became conspicuous.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man immediately said, "Everyone, although I am young, I can still tell right from wrong. This so-called goddess, the Duke of Aquitaine is so devout to her. Not only did she do us a favor, but she also owes us a favor. But not only does this guy not care about that, he even instigated us to go against the Duke of Aquitaine. I don't know what everyone is thinking, but the person I personally admire the most is the Duke of Aquitaine. If you want me to go against him, I'm sorry, I can't do it!"
Then he pointed to the person on the ground and said, "I am twenty years old this year, and I have been worshipping the Goddess in this temple since I was a child. I always thought that the Goddess of Harvest was a kind goddess, but now I see that she is not. This guy can't tell right from wrong, and he is extremely evil. The Duke of Aquitaine is right, this guy is an evil god. We have all been deceived!"
"What did you say?!" Saint Deluca was really angry. This mere human dared to say that he was an evil god? In an instant, a pressure was released towards him.
"Ugh!" Of course, the young man could not withstand Saint Deluca's pressure. He knelt on the ground, but he raised his head and said, "You can only bully honest people like Grandpa Kypra. If you have the guts, come at me! I am not going to accept you today! "
"Torki, do not disrespect the Goddess!" The temple attendant quickly shouted at the young man.
"Grandpa Kypra, am I wrong?" The young man raised his head and said, "You are the person I have respected the most since I was a child. I know that you are also a person who understands right from wrong. Now tell me, who is at fault in this matter? The Duke of Aquitaine, or this guy who claims to be a god!"
"Torki!" The temple attendant quickly shouted, telling Torki to shut up.
"Grandpa Kypra." Before Torki could speak, another young man next to him stood up again. "Torki is right. We all listen to you, and that is why we believe in this goddess. But today, I really want to ask you, do you think what this goddess said is right?"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, a dozen people next to him stood up. Then, like a drop of water falling into a pool, the people around them slowly stood up. This matter was too unfair. Everyone had been holding their breaths, and now, they could no longer hold it in. So the entire temple saw a group of believers standing up and confronting the goddess they believed in.
